Editorial Reviews

Il banchiere Giorgio De Saxe, ricattato per il sequestro non ancora avvenuto della figlia Carolina, ascolta il consiglio di un appartenente alla banda Frantz e la nasconde presso un "pensionato di lusso". La ragazza, girovagando tra salette e corridoi, non tarda a rendersi conto d'essere prigioniera in una casa di piacere di lusso ove sono raccolte giovani donne sequestrate da tutto il mondo e prostituite. Nel frattempo il De Saxe si mette in contatto con il commissario Laurent perché tenda una trappola a coloro che verranno nel posto indicato a prendere la somma del riscatto. Frants, tuttavia, si assicura la somma e dà in pasto alla polizia l'avversario Pierre. Quindi, inscenato un incidente automobilistico per convincere il banchiere della morte di Carolina tra le fiamme, si allontana con la stessa e con il denaro del riscatto.

If you want to watch this movie for the story (yeah, right!), you'll need to understand Italian. If you want it so that you can enjoy watching Anicee Alvina and listening to her lovely voice, you'll get half of what you want. There is plenty of the beautiful actress to see, but this version of the French film "Le Jeu avec le Feu" is dubbed in Italian, so you don't get to hear her voice. The only subtitles available are Italian, too, but even with only a minimal understanding of that language, I could follow the plot, up to a point. Let's face it, though; any red-blooded male is hardly likely to be watching this for the story. Mlle Alvina was an extremely beautiful woman and this movie gives the viewer lots of opportunity to observe her in all her naked beauty. The plot, such as it is, involves the main character's father staging a kidnapping of his daughter for financial reasons; she ends up in a strange brothel with an assortment of interesting characters, and there is an amusing twist at the end ...
